Where in the movie the track is used

...& Much More

SongsTwo of the most memorable music tracks in this film were written and performed by Jeff Lynne. Although Lynne is most recognized as the founder and sound of the band E.L.O., in fact Jeff has been one of the most prolific song and soundtrack writers, not to mention producer.

Jeff Lynne was the man behind Roy Orbison's big comeback, also the major contributor to The Traveling Wilbury's music and sound. Jeff Lynne was also the person chosen to assist the remaining Beatles in the production of the Songs "Real Love" and "Free as a Bird", being as John Lennon was no longer with us.

Although Giorgio Moroder has the major credits for the music in this film, Jeff Lynne gave us the upbeat, danceable and memorable tracks. In fact, "Let It Run", was originally written in 1980 and was used in part in the movie musical "Xanadu". It can be heard as a background track in the movie, but was not listed in any of the credits for the film.

The movie uses many other fabulous artists songs, including two from Culture Club, "Love Is Love", which is one of the best songs of 1984 and "The Dream", which is just "like Alice in Wonderland".

Also, Culture Club's some-time backing singer Helen Terry gets her own opportunity to shine under the production of Georgio Moroder, with "Now Your Mine". There are also some fine instrumental tracks on this album from Moroder, "The Chase" and "Madeline's Theme".

Another classic that Moroder produced is the worldwide #1 single "Together In Electric Dreams" sung by the Human League's Phil Oakey.

This album has been out of print more than 10 years in the U.S. Fortunately you can order it as an European Imported CD from our search device.

Song TriviaIf you play "Video" from the soundtrack LP at 45rpm, it sounds EXACTLY like Cyndi Lauper. Analog or digital, play with it & find out for yourself! -Thanks to Jon A. Gibson

The movie was made and financed as an experiment by Virgin. It featured music from the pick of the Virgin record label. It surely was an early example of synegistic marketing of movies via their soundtracks. It has often been said that Virgin were burned financially on the film, which despite massive exposure from the music, didn't make as much money as was expected at the box office. The truth is that, it did show a reasonable profit and it was, in fact, later films from Virgin which made losses. Sadly, true though, is the fact that it is now one of the few titles of merit which have disappeared almost entirely without trace.
